Solve 12=1/2bh

$$12 = \frac { 1 } { 2 } b h$$

Solve for b

$$b=\frac{24}{h}$$

$$h\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$\frac{1}{2}bh=12$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$\frac{h}{2}b=12$$

Divide both sides by \frac{1}{2}h.

$$\frac{2\times \frac{h}{2}b}{h}=\frac{2\times 12}{h}$$

Dividing by \frac{1}{2}h undoes the multiplication by \frac{1}{2}h.

$$b=\frac{2\times 12}{h}$$

Divide 12 by \frac{1}{2}h.

$$b=\frac{24}{h}$$

Solve for h

$$h=\frac{24}{b}$$

$$b\neq 0$$

$$\frac{1}{2}bh=12$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$\frac{b}{2}h=12$$

Divide both sides by \frac{1}{2}b.

$$\frac{2\times \frac{b}{2}h}{b}=\frac{2\times 12}{b}$$

Dividing by \frac{1}{2}b undoes the multiplication by \frac{1}{2}b.

$$h=\frac{2\times 12}{b}$$

Divide 12 by \frac{1}{2}b.

$$h=\frac{24}{b}$$
